First Quadcopter

In addition to the nice futuristic design, the Kaifeng KF600 brings some cool features too. Besides the usual stuff (altitude-hold and headless mode) it also features optical flow positioning. While the frontal motors are orientated normally, the rear ones are inverted, making the propellers facing the ground. Due to this approach, the blade guards are as well installed reversely on rear....

Furthermore, the package includes a second LiPO which doubles the fun :) The E016H Mini drone features fully enclosed detachable protective blade protectors, which make it safe for...

FPV drones come now in all shapes and sizes. Today I will introduce you two micro sized ones from SKYSTARS. While the smaller, X86 Ghost Rider, has wheelbase of 86mm, the X120 Ghost Rider has 116mm. Both quadcopters feature Micro F4 flight controller and brushless motors. The price difference between them is less than 2$. There is no much difference between the SKYSTARS X86mm and...

While the Blade Scimitar 110 seems to be an upgraded successor of the Torrent 110, it still features only F3 flight controller, not F4 one. In order to make it more aerodynamic, the large Whoop style blade protectors are trimmed. Like in case of its predecessor, all the electric parts are well protected by an injection molded plastic canopy. Out...
